1) No, I think they are maintained differently - not sure if this was done on purpose, but grub's menu.lst is easier to update by yourself.2) I thought this was a syslinux restriction... ?3) The scripts should prompt you to format.4) Forum pm? Don't quote me :P

Other notes:- the fault I usually do is forgetting to reboot after repartitioning (can cause lots of problems)- "tohd=/dev/hda" - you need to specify the partition, not the device. (see wiki for more info)- note that there is only one mbr per hd device... although you may install chainloaded bootloaders onto each other separate partition
